INTRODUCING THE SOLIDARITY WITHOUT BORDERS CAMPAIGN
Submitted by pirate on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 05:06.Dear comrades,
We are writing to introduce the Solidarity Without Borders Campaign, a
coordinated, sustained, three-pronged campaign in solidarity with
immigrant and indigenous struggles across North and Latin America.
Anti-authoritarian groups from across the Northeast and Midwest USA have
come together to form the Solidarity Without Borders Group.
This working group came out of the recent Consulta of the Northeast
Anarchist Network (NEAN) and Midwest Action Network (MAN). The proposal
was initiated by the Boston Anti-Authoritarian Movement (BAAM) and NYC
Local Union of the North East Federation of Anarchist Communists (NEFAC),
and has been joined by anarchists from over a dozen other towns and cities. read more »
